How comes footballers can play in noise but tennis players can't? Noise doesn't seem to affect technically good players like messi, ronaldo ect.
A solo game versus a team game is very different. Not really a like for like...
Boxers and darts players handle it tbf
Tennis games have been known to go on for hours. Often 5-10 hours. Hearing the ball against the raquet and grass, plus the need to keep concentration during long periods are probably my guess.
One thing for sure, Kyrgios shouldn't be allowed to go on how he is, in respect to the opponent.

They aren't 'often' 10 hours.
Very rarely are they over 5 hours.
Should have used the word, sometimes. Slippery and sweaty fingers today.
We forgot to mention why snooker players prefer to play in silence too! Precious?
What a great match of tennis that was. For once Kyrgios played the game instead of just acting the twat and their playing styles were really different. Don't get the Djokovich hate. Not a character like some but simply one of the greatest players ever.

Kyrgios seemed to be acting a massive twat. Granted not as bad as he has in other games but still came across as a petulant child, if my kids acted like he did I'd be dragging them off the court and grounding them for a week
Loads of sporting personalities live on the edge but his behaviour is an embarrassment at times.

Absolutely. In comparison to his previous he was nearly normal.
Thought the Mens Doubles Final was probably the best final i saw over the weekend.
The two single finals were ok but no where near as exciting or as impressive as previous years.
Thought Djokovic just did what he does, get the return back. Consistent shots and when he was serving hit Nicks forearm. Kyrgios is one of the best servers and did alright with it but Novak just seemed to be able to get that return back.
Shame about interviews after. so sickly, then again they usually are with Novak.
Hope Kyrgios comes back. He's a good player but has a bad mental state. Maybe he should go back to doubles again and find a coach who can work/put up with him.
if Kyrgios found a better way to let off steam, such as a "tiger Tim" first pump, rather than swearing at everyone I'm sure he will be a lot more popular.

Times mini headline .. Djokovic was there to make history, Kyrgios to make histrionics .. according to a recent story about the Aussie, at the more minor (though with good prize money) tournaments around the world, he is a big crowd drawer, rather like I guess, as people will slow down as they pass the scene of a nasty motorway pile up, looking for blood or a bit of theatre .. all the time this is the case, Kyri Kyri will remain a boring boor of a person, albeit a half decent tennisist (new word)

Wouldn't have made a difference, but still.
